I’m just getting into fencing. I chose epee because 1)more target area. I can only imagine it feels more “real”. 2) I like that there is no “right of way”. 3) I like that it’s a heavier sword than foil and saber. 4) epee reminds me more of a rapier than saber or foil. 17th century Rapiers are my favorite kind of sword. 5) this sort of goes back to number one but….. TOE HITS. You can hit a toe!!! That is just so cool. I’m actually laughing rn i find it so comical that you can score off a toe. 😂😂

Very helpful. Loved the warning about standing up when fleching. Noticed that you flèche slightly upward rather that fully forward. Don't forget that fleching is all about timing (but that may be another video!). Keep up the good work! Bruce

@mugensamurai4 жыл бұрын
@@wheresswitzerland Yup, when you're fencing against someone who's the same handedness like us rightys it's fencing against an opposite. So your normal parries like 4,5, and 7 are a nice setup for riposte but fencing against a lefty or a mirror image the 6th disengage beat is a great setup for riposte.

Appreciate the video; well done. Don’t know how to measure it, but I’d be very interested to know the energy expenditure and other indicators of how this attack stresses the body. And, relative to other attacks, if (when?) the results warrant the employment.

It’s actually a misnomer to do a flèche from the distance you suggest. It’s actually better as a counter attack into preparation! So it starts at a distance just before your opponent can touch you.

I know I'm late here, but I'd have a quick question. I see that after they do the fleche and score, fencers kinda run off the piste which would normally result in a warning or something like that. But if I don't score the touch, can I somehow, with all that speed, avoid running off the piste to not get warned?
@rjevskyfencing777 Жыл бұрын
Nope. After you scored a hit - it doesn't matter if you ran off the strip, since score is registered and time is stopped. If you don't score a touch and run off the strip - yes you will get penalized. But but but - it depends on where you are VS your opponent. For instance if you are located past your opponent's line of defense - the judge should announce HALT and stop the match. After that if you run off the strip - you are safe. Otherwise you will get penalized if that happens before.

Hi there, thanks for the video, I have a question. You say that the action should start with hand extension, but in your fast demo you start it with leaning the torso over the fron foot. Does that simulate previous forward momentum from different footwork (as if you would be pressuring your opponent with advances, before commiting to the fleche)? Because I think that the fleche does not work so well, if your weight is not well on the front (leg), because the "jump" would not drive you so much forwards, as upwards.

@sebastianleung28973 жыл бұрын
I have a question, has anyone ever do a "side-step or crossover" fleche before? I hope you would respond please. What I mean is that if you are for example right-handed, you would have to go right, you lean to the right to make your opponents think you're heading right and have their arms exposed. Then you immediately explode left and therefore fleche left and hit your opponent's exposed wrist and arms? I have done that only 15 times before(because my opponents arms are too long and always get me if I go right) but no one seems to do that so i want to know if there is actually a name or is it possible to do that.
@rjevskyfencing777 Жыл бұрын
As long as you are not violating general rules in fencing - anything that works for you is okay to use. In general when fencing your goal is to bait and dupe your opponent, throw in something they don't expect. Your example would work against opponent who squeezed to the right side of the strip, which automatically blocks out your ability to do classic flesche to the right.

@rjevskyfencing777 Жыл бұрын
You rather break distance or squat and aim at hand. In general you playing a guessing game, which way your opponent will throw his arm. You have very little time to react. For me the best remedy against flesches is counterattack. About 60% - 70% of the time It's either me scoring from their flesche or double.
